History

The town of Centralhatchee was originally a militia district known as "Black Ankle". The community of Glenloch, to the north, was known as "Blue Shin". The geographic configuration of these two communities, according to Native American legend, resembled the ankle and shin portion of the leg and foot. The town became part of Heard County when the county was formed from parts of Carroll, Troup and Coweta counties in 1830.

The town was chartered in 1903 with the name "Centralhatchee". The community takes its name from nearby Centralhatchee Creek. [4]
